The idea is pretty good. But I can't help thinking you rushed this a bit too much. There is something with the body language. It is somewhere between relaxed (this would have made an ironic look), and tense (a bit more dramatic). Being either relaxed or tense makes the shoot fall between two chairs, IMO.
Another thing is that the jewellery isn't very visible. So I'm not sure about the commercial effect. I do like the reflections in the glasses, that's cool. BTW. I find myself being in much more critical than usual today. Wonder why?
